Good morning to all photographers and photographers wannabe like me!
So, being the winner of last week's contest it's up to me to pick a theme for this week's one what should I put you through? Thinking of sending you to grab a landscape from the top of a mountain not less than 20 miles away and not shorter than 6.000ft with the clause it gotta be hiked by feet and mandatory to use a tripod and a long lens or, to make it easier, reach the closest ocean and grab a sunset's long exposure which includes a dog in the foreground (did you take your dog out to play???).
Well, let's make it simple and real but with a premise, to me photography means lot of things, I like to shoot semi-candid headshots and when I am at it I kind get frantic, excited, it really takes me and it's one of those rare times when my mind doesn't rumble about 4-5 things at a time (...) or, on the other side, I like to go grab a seascape (living on an island that's quite simple) where I can sit and wait just enjoying the scenery without any schedule so that it ends up in a relaxing hike for both the dog and I.
I would ask you to publish whatever any photograph which gave you an emotion, whatever the subject, something you didn't think it would be that great when you took the shot but once on the screen you were "wow, this is better than I thought".
Restrictions is no animal shots, no kids, no alterations in post processing besides the usual light, sharpness, shadows, vignette, in a few words "no PhotoShop".
Let's go ahead, eager to see your shots and to move the learning curve upwards.
Good luck everybody and thank you again for giving me this privilege
